Prophylaxis of SBP is dying

But if you still insist, then please do NOT continue the same antibiotic after an episode of SBP. This happens 80% of the time according to a new study. Bananas!!! Just because cipro is in the guidelines does not mean it’s the only one you can use.

@bryan_johnson So happy for you. You deserved this.

[Elliot Tapper @ebtapper]

Being a hepatologist means you diagnose a LOT of heart failure

1. Ascites, often with high total protein
2. ALT > 400 is most often due to ischemic hepatitis. This is caused most by venous congestion and less by systemic hypotension. echo often unhelpful
